Political. How to Survive in Russia

After the action «Mother of God, Drive Putin Away», Maria Alekhina became one of the most famous political prisoners in the world. Since then, she has traveled a long way, and this book is a story about that journey. «Political. How to Survive in Russia» is a kind of diary, the events of the last pre-war years and the terrible 2022 are seen through the eyes of an activist who perceives any injustice as an insult, and the use of force or repressive law as a personal challenge. Behind the newspaper headlines and agency reports, vivid emotions emerge: fears, resentments, despair, friendship, fearlessness, love, death — several heroes of this book died in the war unleashed by Russia on different sides of the front. 

This is the final part of the trilogy.

The illustrations for the book were drawn by Maria's son — Philip Demidov.
